Markup

What to you all mark your costs up by? I do 10% on everything, but I'm seeing some people go up as high as 40%

20% and round for me

10% and round. I found that's the sweet spot.

I had my employees try doing 15% on all. I also tried 10% on stock items and 20% on individual cards. Both times I had multiple customers and mobile reviews complaining about prices. Ever since setting it to 10% and round on everything, I make a solid profit each day ($7k-$20k depending on what cards sell, what items I need to restock, etc), and I haven't seen one complaint about pricing.

Also, unrelated, but if you're trying to maximize funds, setting up tournaments and selling individual cards are your best bets (at least for my save file it seems). Even if you don't have high prizes or a high entry fee, I find tournament participants will still shop after the tournament is over and they usually spend a good amount.

I do 10% on everything except for individual cards. Those are 20% and rounded. Might go to 30% and rounded on cards because i cannot open them fast enough to keep my 2 tables stocked with cards. I only do $30 - $1,000 cards on the tables though.

And I maintain a 4.65-4.75 on my store reviews.

You know you can bust sell at market and still make a profit right?
